Vercel Speed Insights Implementation

Successfully installed and configured Vercel Speed Insights for this Next.js portfolio project.

What was implemented:

Installed @vercel/speed-insights package
- Used npm (the project's package manager) to install @vercel/speed-insights v1.3.1
- Updated package.json and package-lock.json with the new dependency
Added SpeedInsights component to root layout
- Modified app/layout.tsx to import SpeedInsights from '@vercel/speed-insights/next'
- Added the <SpeedInsights /> component inside the <body> tag, after the main content
- Placement follows Next.js App Router best practices for Next.js 15.5.12

Files Modified:

app/layout.tsx - Added import and component
package.json - Added @vercel/speed-insights dependency
package-lock.json - Updated with new dependency tree

Implementation Details:

The project uses Next.js 15.5.12 with App Router, which is newer than 13.5+
Used the simplified approach: imported from '@vercel/speed-insights/next'
No 'use client' directive needed as the package handles this internally
The component is placed at the end of the body tag for optimal performance

Verification:

Build completed successfully with npm run build
No errors or warnings introduced
All changes have been staged with git

The Speed Insights component will now automatically track Core Web Vitals and send analytics data to Vercel when deployed.
